I agree with this. But in an era of spending money SAF showed how to spend it wisely. Where as someone like Keegan didn't.Premier League money helped him and came along at the right time. It was a much level playing field before that, which is why I rank Paisley and Clough just above him. Still a great manager though.
Liverpool only every won it twice in a row unlike Ajax, Bayern and Real who all won it 3 times in a row, Liverpool did well, winning in 4 times in 8 years of course. You could argue that the European Cup was easier to win in that format as it was a straight forward knock out competition and less bias towards the bigger teamsDomestically or internationally?
Probably the greatest in the domestic game, but his record in Europe wasn't that great. And by great I mean winning multiple European cups in a row, which Man U probably should have done, like Liverpool in their heyday.
Doubtful. There is a reason why most managers are successful over short spells. Paisley never wanted to be manager and wouldn't have had the desire or motivation to build team after team and re-invent himself in the way Ferguson didPaisley would probably have achieved more had he managed as long as Ferguson
I don’t know, he was manager for around 10 year which isn’t really a short spell as far as managers are concerned. If he managed for 3-4 year, I would agree. You also need to remember that Liverpool during his time were such a well oiled machine and always planned ahead which made it easier to maintain their top position. They used to sign many players like Ian Rush and keep them in the reserves for ages to make sure that they were good enough.Doubtful.

Maybe it's an age thing but I still put Sir Matt and Shanks on a pedestal. They built up great clubs to last, they created dynasties. You can't take anything away from the massive successes of Ferguson & Paisley but (to some extent) they both reaped the benefits their forebears created from nothing.

Read his books, and read books of players who played for him. No one comes close in the modern era to what he done. He created 3 teams in his tenure and developed some some of the best players this country has produced.
Now the great mourinho is in his shoes. It just shows how good Sir Alex was.
Because he was a fantastic man manager. I couldn't put his books down to be honest. Everyone will have heard the stories of the giggs/sharp house party, Keanes bet on horse racing in Manchester.Good post.
How the fuck did he get that team to win the last title? It was shite compared to others around them. The next season when he wasn't there proved it.

GOAT
They didn't have to cope with players who had huge egos and lots of power tbf. Ferguson was around when it was all still a bit old school, and succeeded, and also when the game shifted, and was successful then too. Basically he proved how adaptable he was. Also seemed the best at mind games and finding any possible advantage.
Even the best English manager has a Scottish nameGreat manager but I prefer Bob Paisley.
